Re: The Spades Slick Recuperation Intermission (SSRI)

Repeating request since it went (probably, if somebody is working on it, I'm really sorry for putting pressure on you) ignored: Please put LE eyes on both faces on my avatar, thank you very much in advance.

Just your average insane Videogame-, Manga- and of course Homestuck-geek here.
Loads of signature stuff below, may increase in quantity.

I have that game, Majora's Mask, sitting on my desk. Waiting too be played. It has yet too be.

One day when young to the plains of Com'yc Descu'Sion, genteelGunslinger came across a small hole in the ground. He wasn't sure if he could fit his whole body in, so he stuck his head in.
A voice called up, "Who blocks the sky?"
"Someone is down here?" GG wondered incredulously. As the inspiration for the tales of Indiana Jones, Bing Crosby was known to never fear adventure. He pulled his head out of the hole and retrieved his pick from his pack. A few swift strokes allowed him to hop down into the darkness.
A hand grabbed his and pulled him up. "I am Everanix. Welcome to the cult of Vriska." cute of Vriska
"Who are you? I mean, I know your name. But why are you living in a tiny hole in the ground? This doesn't seem like much of a place for a cult."
"I thought it was a pipe. I wanted to flyyyyyyyy!"
GG, vaguely disconcerted, retrieved his lighter. "What are you, that you could fit into such a small hole?"
"I am Vriska." Before he could click the flaring device, Everanix flashstepped it out of his hands and held the flame to a torch. GG shuddered as he heard choruses of, "I am Vriska" echoing out beyond the feeble light. He heard a skittering as little girls with grey skin and horns crawled along the walls towards him.
"I'm"
"I'm not sure if I'm okay with this."
"I'm sorry if our appearance frightens you. We can assume our normal faces, if that would better please your honour." A voice from the far end of the cave, which seemed to be over a hundred metres in length.

Not too mention that Time players can only go back and forth in time in their current session/own timeline, so, unless that player has connections time-wise with beginning LE, they can't go back and stop him.

Gaming abstractions do not provide anything either. They are almost all in-universe or cross-universe.

So, LE can't be defeated at an earlier point in time. Just in that session he is in. But he has cleverly mastermind a further defence. The more he devours, the more powerful he gets, and, because he comes into a session upon it's death, he enters unchallenged, and all future sessions he enters would have a greater challenge winning, should he give them the chance to fight him.

Lord English is one serious bad guy.

There is sort of a way to access every session: the Furthest Ring could do that, right? The Green Sun, at least, is outside of sessions and universes. It's not completely unnavigable, either, apparently. It's probably too late for me to get this entirely right but didn't Dave get a map from the Horrorterrors or something that allowed the piloting of Derse's moon to where the Green Sun needed to be... I don't think it's likely to happen, but I don't think it is theoretically impossible, either. That is, it could be done, it just won't be.

If that is all the universes LE has devoured so far in that staff, either he isn't going in order of creation or the Squiddles weren't the first - yes, I know that was probably a joke - it was still kind of a cool thought, okay.

Okay there were definitely things I missed. Awesome! So there is no ability (whether through role or having a Derse dreamself) where that would be a possibility? Or I guess "guided by the Horrorterrors" could still count as some form of navigation through the Furthest Ring, just not one the kids(/trolls) have control over.

It's not as if the kids aren't able to navigate the Furthest Ring. Aradia said that she had some limited ability in navigating the Bubbles (which, in context, would carry over to her ability to navigate the Furthest Ring?), and she stated that Rose would be much better at that than her.

What Cod said. Dave and Rose were guided. And I believe that the Furthest Ring is extremely unreliable. You could end up going in the completely wrong direction for decades, or end up bumping into yourselves later, as Rose explained.

So, yes and no. Yes, it can be used too go too other sessions. No, it can be used reliably to get too the session you want.

Squiddles session, if it did exist, might of been the first session, and LE's first session, but possibly not his genesis. What if he didn't consume his first session. What if it was for a certain reason. What if that reason is the one flaw too his impenetrable defence.

I will now dub this session in question the Alpha-Omega session. The beginning, and the end.

I can't. Have to set up the N64, can't remember where all the cords are, in the mess of my brothers room, no doubt, and I promised myself it was my reward once my essay was finished.

And I work till Tuesday

Edit: Another theory, LE dies when the double 8's are hit on his eyes. Then, they will shatter, and explode in blue blood.

Thanks for the explanation! So navigation of the Furthest Ring is a possibility although it probably won't be used for what I was thinking of and by this time I was thinking more about mechanics anyway.

These forums are excellent for theory-discussing... and are kind of just as good as a re-read when it comes to catching things you missed or didn't even know you missed!

Re: The Spades Slick Recuperation Intermission (SSRI)

Also, I'm looking forward to Ghost!Hussie. You all know it's coming. It was only a matter of time until he killed his own avatar. He always struck me as the type to aspire to meta-suicide.

He already has. He's killed the avatar of his avatar. Hussception. Hussception everywhere.

It's unreliable if you don't have some sort of guide, I thought. Although that isn't necessarily guaranteed to be completely reliable either. Rose's powers involve seeing the most fortunate outcome, right? Navigation seems more of an indirect ability in that case. But if the circumstances were right, certain powers, correct timing, all of that... I don't think reliable navigation is impossible? It would be like how the kids/trolls are going to the new session (but with a different session as the goal, and the result of Rose's Seer abilities). Except I don't think it will happen that way. So.

Squiddles session, if it did exist, might of been the first session, and LE's first session, but possibly not his genesis. What if he didn't consume his first session. What if it was for a certain reason. What if that reason is the one flaw too his impenetrable defence.

This one?

...so something to do with Jake after all? Maybe?

I can't. Have to set up the N64, can't remember where all the cords are, in the mess of my brothers room, no doubt, and I promised myself it was my reward once my essay was finished.

And I work till Tuesday

Do all of that, then reset time and go through those three days again doing all the important essay work.

Yes. It WAS supposed to be the main purpose of the Comic Discussion. I wonder how many pages we'll get if we clear out all off-topic posts?

I thought it also became a sort of General Discussion at one point or another (officially, that is), although it's still supposed to be Comic Discussion, which is great! There are other threads that feature more specific discussion topics too, which are also enjoyable to read.
